working and middle class have been leaving the democratic party for a while now. the democrats abandoned them in the 70s, unless youre union and they can extract campaign money from you. obamas love for illegals as seen in his recent amnesty move proved this.

when I bought my first boat just out of high school, I took several safety courses. one was taught by the Division of Watercraft the other was by the Coast Guard. back then they openly told us they didnt care if we drank, or were intoxicated, as long as we werent causing problems. things have changed dramatically. they now have multiple agencies cruising the same water looking to harass people and give tickets.

btw: the large majority of people dying are fisherman, in small aluminium boats, on an inland lake, by themselves who stand up to take a leak then fall overboard, and ultimately try to swim to shore.
